7.1 General
Regular inspection and maintenance of the HPSU compact re-
duces energy consumption and ensures a long life and smooth
operation.
Legal requirements
According to the F-Gases Directive (EC) No. 842/2006 Article 3,
replaced on 01.01.2015 by (EC) No. 517/2014 Articles 3 and 4,
Operators (or Owners) must perform regular maintenance on
their fixed cooling systems, check impermeability and have any
leaks repaired immediately.
All installation, maintenance and repair work on the cooling circuit
must
be documented e.g. in the operating manual.
Operators of ROTEX heat pump systems are subject to the
following obligations:
Ɣ With a system coolant total filling quantity of 3 kg – 30 kg
or from 6 kg in hermetic systems and from 01.01.2017 with a
total filling quantity of 5-50 t CO
2
-equivalent or from 10 t
CO
2
-equivalent in hermetic systems:
Î Inspections carried out by certified personnel at intervals
of no more than 12 months and documentation of the
work performed in accordance with valid regulations.
This documentation must be retained for at least 5 years.
RISK OF ENVIRONMENTAL
DAMAGE!
Important information regarding the
coolant used.
The entire heat pump system contains
refrigerant with fluoridated greenhouse
gases which damage the environment if
released.
Coolant type: R410A
GWP* value: 2087,5
* GWP = Global Warning Potential
Ɣ Fill in the total coolant filling quantity
on the supplied lable on the heat
pump exterior unit (for information
consult the installation instructions for
the heat pump exterior unit).
Ɣ Never allow coolant to be released
into the atmosphere - always suction
it off and recycle using a suitable
recycling device.
Have the inspection and maintenance carried out by
authorised and trained HVAC engineers once a year,
ideally before the heating period. This can prevent
faults during the heating period.
ROTEX recommends an inspection and maintenance
contract
to ensure regular inspection and maintenance.
The European statutory investigation period applies for
heat pumps from a total system coolant filling quantity
of 3
kg or, as of 01.01.2017 from a total filling quantity
of 5 t CO
2
-equivalent (in the case of R410A from
2.4 kg).
ROTEX nonetheless recommends the conclusion of a
maintenance contract, including documentation of the
work carried out in the operating manual in order to pre-
serve the right to guarantee, including for systems for
wh
ich there is not legal obligation to monitor imperme-
ability.
Certified people are those who have proof of expertise
for th
e European Community for work on stationary
refrigeration systems (heat pumps) and air conditioning
systems, according to the F-Gases Directive (EC)
No 303/2008.
